Open Door needs 1-2 volunteers to read with preschool children and work on coloring sheets while their mother participates in our safe sleep and parenting workshop: Baby Box
The parent will be in the same room.
We will provide training in bringing a book to life for the children and how to be interactive with the story.
Volunteers need to enjoy working with young children.
Goals:
- To provide an environment to allow the mother to participate in the parenting program
- To encourage children to enjoy books and reading, to better prepare them to become Kindergarten Ready. This is part of our Reach Out and Read Program, a national literacy program.
- Fun coloring sheets and some with targeted messages such as nutrition, wellness and self-esteem.
